MAN – A lucky man in Canada won $60 million lottery jackpot but kept his newfound fortune as a secret for 10 months. He finally claimed his prize this week.
Almost all of us want to be a millionaire. We dreamed of having a gorgeous house, luxurious cars or own a resort. Sadly, it’s not that easy to achieve if we are just working on minimum wage jobs.
People from different countries around the world try their luck in lottery games. There, anyone will have a chance to win millions that could make them have a vacation for a year or purchase whatever they want.
Based on a report from ABS-CBN, a Vietnamese refugee won $60 million jackpot and he kept it a secret for 10 months. The 55-year-old man is now a Canadian resident. He and his family resettle in the county 36 years ago.
Bon Truong finally decided to claim his Can$60 million prizes last Wednesday, August 28, in Edmonton, Alberta. He explained why he kept it a secret during a press conference.
“I started to think about what this win would mean for my family… I realized it’s going to change a lot of things and I wanted to make sure we were all ready and prepared for those changes,” he said.
According to the report, the gardener said he signed his named and contact number on the lottery ticket and put it in a safe for several months. He revealed to the media that he will use the prize to pay his mortgage, take a family vacation and then continue his work.
He said he wants to see his children work hard so he did not reveal his winnings right away. His niece Mina Truong said Bon arrived in Canada with nothing so he worked very hard to provide the needs of his children, buy a house and play the lottery.
“Coming here with nothing, nothing, after the Vietnam war, he worked,” “That’s all they did, work, save money to buy a house… have a better life for their children, play the lottery and finally after 30 years it pays off. You’re just really happy for them,” she said.
Based on the report, the Canadian man purchased the lottery ticket a local casino. The numbers he picks were a combination of their birthdays and important dates.
